The word barbecue is also used to refer to a social gathering where food
is served, usually outdoors in the late afternoon or evening. In the
southern United States, outdoor gatherings are not typically called
"barbecues" unless barbecue itself will actually be on the menu, instead
generally favoring the word "cookouts".[*citation needed
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed*] The device used
for cooking at a barbecue is commonly referred to as a "barbecue",
"barbecue grill", or "grill". (Wikipedia)

The backyard ritual of grilling went well baack into the 1940's, then
grilling happened most at campsites and picnics. After the WWI and WWII,
and people started moving to the "burbs", backyard grilling and BBQing
really took its hold into the 1950s and onto the 60s.

We will be serving from 5 to 7 PM in the air-conditioned comfort and
beauty of the Art Galleries of Hoyt Sherman Place.
